VOID application survey

Hi! we are working on VOID, an open-source note-taking and knowledge management app that combines the best of Obsidian (text-first editing) and Notion (block-based organization). It’s designed for power users like writers, developers, and teams. Your feedback will help shape the project. This is for the community, not for a company, and responses are anonymous.
